New location!! Don't park in the 7/11 lot. Really nice space that feels darker than the previous spot but also cleaner. They have a bathroom which is key since I'm usually driving from Thousand Oaks or San Diego. They still have the BEST DEALS ANYWHERE!! Discounts on all new trades and graphic novels, dollar bin books, heavily discounted used trades, and a massive selection. It's heaven for a comic book nerd. They buy collections and are female run which is awesome. This place holds the crown as my favorite comic book shop which is saying something because I go to A LOT of shops. Im a comic book shopaholic. read more

Pulp Fiction has always offered a decent selection of new and old comics, and I absolutely loved their previous location. That being said...I'm not a fan of their new location. I went down there on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, and right in front was a homeless man and a pile of what was very likely human shit smeared on the sidewalk lol. Now, I know this isn't necessarily a fault of the comic shop itself, and I do sympathize for the city's unhoused population, but having that being my first impression of their new location was kind of jarring. Never encountered this issue at the old location. I do plan to visit again though, and maybe next time can have a more pleasant experience and give the full five stars. read more

Whenever I come here I pretty much follow the same self guided path throughout. Aka, my search routine based on my interests. Immediately to the left side of entering you have the discounted graphic novels. Both paperback and hardcover. I find at least one gem everytime. I then move through the back issues, followed by a short trip through the graphic novel shelves. And finally to the current issues. Which would be the whole right side wall of the store. They have a solid selection. Both new, old, and in-between. Everything's well organized and prices are definitely reasonable. Which means it's rare that I ever walk out empty handed. If youre a comic fan in the area, then definitely worth a visit. read more

I hadn't been to a comic book store in forever, a buddy tuck me and we spent at least an hour just looking around at the great collection of books they have. When we finally decided on what we were getting, the staff was extremely helpful and made a lot of recommendations, particularly when it came to local artists which I really loved on my trip here. I ended up getting some original local stuff for my kids read more

Pulp Fiction is always a nice low stress shop to visit. The staff are very friendly (and if you're lucky you get to see their comic book shop mascot dog). The area is always clean and I like how it's organized with kids and family comics near the front and merchandise near the back. I've been to plenty of comic book stores that don't always treat you like you're supposed to be there, but Pulp Fiction is welcoming to novices and hard core lore followers of any background. My favorite local comic store. read more

Came in from out of town looking for a comic for a friend. The lady at the desk was absolutely hospitable. When we couldn't find 3 out of 4 of the comics I was looking for, she directed me to a handful of other stores before wrapping my purchase in a travel bag. If you're looking for the stereotypical unhappy, dismissive comic store employee, look somewhere else! Pulp Fiction has the most accommodating and helpful staff! She even pushed me out the door to go visit their neighborhood card shop across the street when I mentioned I collect Pokemon cards. read more

Pulp Fiction in Culver City is the best comic store in LA! Tables full of dollar comics, 50 cent comic bins, discounts on new graphic novels! They buy and sell used comics, graphic novels, manga, and magazines at reasonable prices, and they have pins and collectibles. The staff is always welcoming and friendly! read more

As a newcomer to the world of comics, I've tried to explore different shops in the LA & OC area. Pulp Fiction has easily stood out as a favorite. The shop is large and well organized and offers a great selection of new series and a ton of back issues. The prices are great and the staff is always kind and helpful. There is a chill, welcoming vibe that I appreciate every time. read more

I'm convinced this is the best comic shop in LA. Have you been to a comic/game store that looks like it was hit by a cyclone? Pulp Fiction is the opposite of that. Very clean and organized shop with a huge collection of different series. They also have a fantastic used section that is constantly stocked with new stuff. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Friendly staff and great selection. Love browsing and shopping here. They have unique comics and rare books!

arguably best comic book store in la, maybe the country (though i can't really say). the store has a deep collection of graphic novels and toys/figures and they are up to date with all the latest issues. they also have a nice vast back issue collection as well. i'm assuming their indie collection is good too, but i'm not into that, so i can't say for certain. but what makes pulp fiction the best? their prices are undeniably the. best. hands. down. they are comparable or even cheaper than online prices! the discounts on new graphic novels are unparalleled and their vast used graphic novel section is for real the bees knees. collection is quite deep and the prices seriously cannot be beat. i loved this place when i lived in la, and now whenever i come to town, i must visit this establishment read more

The comic bookstore sells both brand new and used books, statures and collectibles. The shacks are well organized with labels for new arrivals and discounts. It has plenty of convenient street parking spots outside. read more

Another case of bookmarked forever but finally attained! Pulp Fiction is the consummate comic book store that is slowly disappearing, and not to dis A Shop Called Quest, they have droves of back issues in boxes to browse and much much more. I realized that the shop was fairly close to the LA Wine Company and not too far away from The Wine House in the Culver City neck of the woods so voila! I followed the map directions and landed street parking around the corner. The section of town has that agreeable feel to it, coffee shop nearby with guys playing speed chess and lots of mom and pop stores. The front sign is almost a relic in of itself! I should have taken a landscape photo upon entering, it's that expansive inside. I noticed the Black Friday deals up front for graphic novels and comics, and while I didn't see anything that I needed (wanted is another category) it was impressive. I had a few target recent back issues in mind and was delighted to find every issue of Savage Avengers (#1-5) to complete my set to date. The amount of new comics is great and laid out in a way that you can actually browse without overlooking titles because they're stacked in stepped rows eight deep! Another aspect that supports my 5-star review is the neatly alphabetized graphic novel section that resembles a library with goodies. The two employees were also fantastic and extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you! I am looking forward to future visits and highly recommend shopping here for toys, books and everything else related to comics. read more

Pulp Fiction never fails! Anytime everyone else is sold out of something they always seem to have 1 left. They are saviors! They even will save the issue if you pick it up same day. Staff is always friendly, they are my fav Comic Shop in LA, go check them out. read more

If you're trying to fill in missing back issues, Thai is the spot to go to. My go to spot every 2 months and walk out with at least $50 worth of dollar books read more

Great, knowledgeable staff, comprehensive graphic novel selection. Fun mix of back issues. Everyone here has a bit of different perspective, so when you ask about a book, someone will have something to say. And they have great discounts on new graphic novels, so that never hurts. It's my favorite shop, hands down. read more

This place stinks. On top of that the person working there (on Sunday at least) had terrible customer service. There are much better comic book shops with more conscientious and polite staff in Los Angeles. read more

This store is located between a Thai restaurant and an APEX Aquarium store. There's parking in the back, but I wasn't quite sure which one belonged to their store, so I parked in the front in the metered spot. $1.00 for an hour, and the meters takes credit card or coins. The store has lots of comic books and Funkos but sadly not the ones I was looking for. The girl behind the counter was super friendly and helpful, but couldn't really point me in the direction I needed for Funkos. I can't find any fault here. If you plan on parking in the back, the driveway seems to be behind the APEX side. read more

Pulp Fiction is bigger than I thought it would be. I came here this weekend to sell some old comics. Didn't really get too much from them though. Just $4 but I didn't really bring a ton of comics in. It was more of a great opportunity to check out the store and see what they had. There was a young gentleman working at the store when I was here over the weekend. He seemed pretty nice and laid back. The store had more than just comics. They also had hardcover and paperback books. And you can also sell your books here in addition to your comics. They had the old stuff and the new stuff. As well as things that weren't what you'd think when you think of comics like Star Wars, Dr. Who, Adventure Time, Regular Show, even My Little Pony. Also, Pulp Fiction sells toys like Marvel Figures and those cute Funko Pop toys. It's a pretty cool store. Parking: I didn't check to see if there was parking in the back, or if you could park in the neighborhood since we found parking right in front. It's was metered parking but free on Sundays. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well stocked, well organized shelves. Great deals on trade paperbacks. Welcoming atmosphere. Did I mention the friendly and knowledgeable staff already? Seriously, this place is great! read more

Pulp Fiction is so rad! I love visiting the store. So many great deals. Tons of new comics weekly. And they also offer a discounted subscription "pull" service for TRUE BELIEVERS! I love the discount bin, and discounts are deep on New Graphic Novels and TPBs. read more

Pulp Fiction - Just a corner of the huge store. - Comic Books Near Me - Culver City, California

I don't like the way I was treated. I won't be coming back. I used to bring books in on the regular. Apparently my business isn't good enough for them because bringing books in for trade on a weds results in getting scolded like a child. Now apparently bringing books in on a Monday is a problem now too?! It's not as if I was asking for money. Every penny I traded in went towards purchasing more books from them. I don't need to be castigated for doing business. I'm out. I'll buy from someone else from now on. read more

I ended up going to this store while out in Culver City last week, and I enjoyed it so much, I made the trek from Burbank to go again! I have certain TPB collections I've been buying and looking for and they had a great selection - and I was almost shocked when I got to the register and saw they were 30% off! They had a good selection of new issues, and what I liked was that if something sold out, they had a notice where that book would be, so you didn't wonder "did that come out?" There were dozens of $1 back issue bins and I'd love to pore through them more at some time - there were a lot. I saw some comments here on Yelp about "poor customer service" and "no one asked if they could help me" or things like that. I actually commented to my friend that I loved that about this store... I spent a good 45 minutes looking around - knowing I was going to buy some things - and no one bothered me or made me feel like I was loitering or anything like that. And when I was rung up, the woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly, and friendliness is the main thing I ask for. read more

Great place for your comic book fix. The figurines are hit or miss but always worth the chance. read more

Pulp Fiction - My perfect woman. - Comic Books Near Me - Culver City, California

Love this place !! I recently moved to Culver City and finding this Gem was amazing! The store is super cool lots of options. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a cute dog ! I will definitely return ! read more

A very nice comic book store. There was SO MUCH, new issues, older issues, graphic novels, books, pins and more.

The second best comic shop here on the west side. What you can't beat is their 30% off trades/HCs discount. I come here first if I'm looking for any. In addition, they have a used/discounted area (trades/HCs) for people who've traded their stuff in and you could find a lot of gems there for as low as $4. It's super spacious and the staff have always been friendly. read more

We love making a monthly visit to Pulp Fiction, my daughter buys their figures, amazing prices. Large selection of...well..everything comic book related. The staff has always been friendly and courteous. Definitely swing by. read more

They have an amazing back issues section that is alphabetized and sorted by type. It is truly amazing and a joy to dig through. Very clean as well. read more

Great neighborhood shop with one of the biggest selections of Graphic Novels in L.A. - also a big support to local and Indie creators! Check them out on a New Comics Wednesday for a great energetic vibe. read more

Great service - kind and very helpful staff! I'm not at all familiar with manga yet was able to get help with my search for gifts. Great selection! My son is a fan of the store after his first visit too! read more

Great locally owned independent shop. Friendly staff, and it's safely setup with social distancing and standard covid protocols. Support this place! read more

I really wanted to like this place. It's close to my house and I care a lot about supporting small businesses and much of their staff are really nice. I've probably been here 2-3x a month for the last 3 months. They have what I'm looking for about 50% of the time. They also have a very limited selection from local artists and writers. In some cases they've never gotten in what they said they'd order and it took over a month to get another book I was looking for. (This was not obscure stuff, it was mainstream Brian K Vaughan etc...) It's not a disaster to wait, though. My main beef is that one of their employees is so snarky. She always nickel and dimes me on my sell-backs, never helps me find anything ("if it's not on the rack we don't have it"), and doesn't even just chat comics for a minute at checkout. I once saw her tell a kid, maybe 9, to "get off the floor" (he was squatting, quietly reading), bc he was "creating a fire hazard" in a basically empty store. I go to local businesses for a feeling of community, recommendations, knowledgeable staff, and local options. But if you don't get that, might as well just order from Amazon. Today I got hassled about the credit card minimum bc my store credit from the book I sold back put me under the $10 minimum. I get it, but come on, I'm there all the time. Give me a break. Looking forward to checking out some of the other, plentiful, LA options. read more

Came to this comic shop as it is close to my work, and was not disappointed. They had a good selection and the shopkeep (woman with blue hair) was kind and chatty. However, the hours listed here are not the same with the actual hours they are open so I was forced to wait an additional 30 minutes before I could get in. They really need to change that for people who like to search things via Yelp. read more

Previous reviewers complained that 1 the staff was too friendly and 2 that it was bad that they didn't let him use their loft to teach art for his own enjoyment or maybe profit. When I own my own store I want to have a friendly staff greet people and I won't let people won don't buy my merchandise use my space rent free for their own enjoyment. I don't think you would either. The bottom line is this... 40% off cover price on most graphic novels, up to 25% off cover price of new comics if you set up a pull list , a huge selection of action figures manga and back issues AND the friendliest staff at any store I have ever visited. So many people trade stuff in that the comic and tpb sections are constantly packed with new stuff. What has the world come to when people get mad they get greeted in a friendly way when they walk into a business?! UGH... some people! read more

Despite moving away from Culver, Pulp Fiction is still my go-to in the Los Angeles area for my comics, and I still make the trek out there regularly to pick up my pulls. Marie and Kriss are great, and have really made efforts to make the store a friendly and welcoming place over the past year or so. I guess maybe PF isn't your style if you don't like friendliness? read more

Cool comic book store with plenty good reads! I liked the variety in books, comics, and graphic novels. They could use a collection of figures bigger than the one they have now. I was surprised not to have found a bin of posters for one to damage through. Shame, I always buy one at places like these. Pretty organized place. Friendly staff. Drop in if you're in the area. read more

Been coming here for years now. Best shop in the biz. They've improved their back issue catalogue over the years. There's nothing not to love read more
